What is OTP in OneNAND?
The device includes,
1. one block-sized OTP (One Time Programmable) area and
2. user-controlled 1st block OTP(Block 0)
that can be used to increase system security or to provide identification capabilities.
What is done?
In OneNAND, one block of the NAND Array is set aside as an OTP memory area, and 1st Block (Block 0)
can be used as OTP area.
This area, available to the user, can be configured and locked with secured user information.
The OTP block can be read, programmed and locked using the same operations as any other NAND Flash
Array
memory block. After issuing an OTP-Lock, OTP block cannot be erased. OTP block is fully-guaranteed
to be a valid block.
Why it is done? (Impact)
Locking the 1st Block OTP has the effect of a 'Write-protect' to guard against accidental
re-programming of data stored in the 1st block and OTP Block.
Which problem it solves?
OTP support is provided in the existing implementation of OneNAND/Flex-OneNAND driver, but it is not
working with OneNAND devices.
Have observed the following in current OTP OneNAND Implmentation,
1. DataSheet specific sequence to lock the OTP Area is not followed.
2. Certain functions are quiet generic to cope with OTP specific activity.
This patch re-implements OTP support for OneNAND device.
How it is done?
For all blocks, 8th word is available to the user.
However,in case of OTP Block, 8th word of sector 0, page 0 is reserved as OTP Locking Bit area.
Therefore, in case of OTP Block, user usage on this area is prohibited.
Condition specific values are entered in the 8th word, sector0, page 0 of the OTP block during the
process of issuing an OTP-Lock.
The possible conditions are:-
1. Only 1st Block Lock
2. Only OTP Block Lock
3. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Block
What Other feature additions have been done in this patch?
This patch adds feature for:-
1. Only 1st Block Lock
2. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Blocks
Re-implemented OTP support for OneNAND
Added following features to OneNAND
1. Lock only 1st Block in OneNAND
2. Lock BOTH 1st Block and OTP Block in OneNAND
